Construction at Lassonde Building and Passy Gardens Residences

Orange sign saying road work ahead

Due to necessary repairs to York University’s utility infrastructure and other repairs across the Keele campus, construction will take place at the southwest corner of the Lassonde Building, as shown on the map below, beginning Monday, July 28, and continuing until Wednesday, July 30, from 7am to 5pm daily. During this time, pedestrian traffic will be rerouted around the construction fencing. This may affect domestic water supply to the Lassonde Building. Further notice will be distributed if a service interruption is required.

How will this construction impact the York community?

  • We ask that all vehicle and pedestrian traffic be reduced to a minimum.
  • Some noise and vibration in the immediate area can be expected.
  • The contractor performing the work will be available at all times to assist with vehicle and pedestrian movement around the site when necessary.
  • Additional bulletins will be distributed as the impact on the campus or the status of the project changes.

When travelling throughout the construction zone, please watch for and obey all traffic signs and or traffic control personnel for your safety and convenience.
